The other day, Paramount and Sega finally showed off the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog, a live-action/CG movie starring James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, and Jim Carrey. The reaction to the trailer was not...great. Besides all of the other extremely questionable choices about it, Sonic's design, which appeared to be like some kind of blue fur-person and less like a walking, talking cartoon character, raised a lot of concerns with fans.

Those concerns have been heard by the movie's director, Jeff Fowler. In a tweet, Fowler acknowledged the furor over the design and promised that they would make changes to it.

Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be... #sonicmovie#gottafixfast

Ubisoft revealed today new missions for Ghost Recon Wildlands, their multiplayer squad-based shooter would be launching today and are bringing some start power with them. Titled Operation Oracle, the new missions set off a free weekend for the game and seemingly tease a new Ghost Recon game. Moreover, they also star Jon Bernthal, who played Shane on AMC’s The Walking Dead and the eponymous Punisher in the Netflix show.

Check out the live action trailer of Bernthal below.

Bernthal plays Ghost team leader Cole D. Walker, who Ubisoft points out is a bit of a loose cannon with his own agenda. The mission is fairly story-based and, as the blog post for the new content points out, "What you will discover here might very well set the scene for the future." It is very hard to interpret that as anything other than a tease for more new content or a new game.

A new video teaser that appeared on YouTube today, however, suggests that a new Left 4 Dead might be in the works.

To be clear from the get-go, it is not obvious whether this teaser is actually from Valve or if it is a fan-made animation. Valve has not claimed ownership, no one has claimed ownership. The account that uploaded the video, Clusterflu961, has uploaded nothing else. It was created on May 1, yesterday, and the name is possibly a reference to the flu from Left 4 Dead that incites the zombie apocalypse. The account was created in Canada, but the extent to which that means anything is probably not severe.

One of the most surprising reveals of this year was that cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade —Bloodlines is getting a sequel nearly 15 years after its release. Today, publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Hardsuit Labs gave us a rundown on the first playable class the pair are revealing: The Brujah.

The Brujah are quick, brutal vampires renowned for their pugilistic natures. In Bloodlines 2, players who select The Brujah clan will be able to progress along two different skill trees (called disciplines): Potence and Celerity:

Fist of Caine - Deliver a devastating punch that turns walls into rubble and throws enemies through the air. Upgrades to Fist of Cain enhance the devastating effects even further.

Brothers Sean and Daniel haven't had it easy since running away from the law in the opening hour of Life Is Strange 2, and it looks like things are about to get harder. A new trailer for the upcoming episode, called Wastelands, finds our brothers trying to make a place for themselves in a small forest community in California.

However, negative influences and bad luck seem to conspire against the pair once more. You can watch for yourself down below:

Episode 3 is due out on May 9. You can read our reviews for the first and second episode in the meantime.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night from ArtPlay – former Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi's studio – now has specific release dates. The PS4, Xbox One, PC edition comes out on June 18, with the Switch version releasing on June 25.

The game has undergone multiple delays since it was initially Kickstarted back in 2015, but the title's latest trailer (above) shows that Igarashi and the team have been hard at work to make it look the best it can be.

A few months ago, we posted about the Daughters of Ash overhaul mod for Dark Souls. The mod remixed the entire game from top to bottom, messing with enemy placement, scripting changes, and more for a new experience for seasoned Dark Souls players. The mod, being a culmination of years and thousands of hours of work, only supported the original PC release of Dark Souls. In a surprisingly quick turnaround, the mod creator has gotten Daughters of Ash compatible with the Remastered release as well.

Dark Souls Remastered released in 2017 on consoles as well as PC, but it did come out before the release of Daughters of Ash. While players are split about some of the game's graphical changes, especially compared to the original game with the fanmade DSFix mod, the Remastered version also has things like native button remapping, no 60 FPS ladder glitches, and some changes to the way you pick up and equip items. This made some fans eager for Daughters of Ash to support the newer version.

Scott "Grimrukh" Mooney, the creator of the mod, agreed, and said he had planned to get the mod to support Dark Souls Remastered before the summer. True to his word, Daughters of Ash is now available to use regardless of which version you own. You can download the mod here.

Update (7:40 p.m. CT): Epic has clarified again that, despite the previous statement, no decision has been made about Rocket League being sold on Steam. They only state that they will continue to support existing Steam purchases for the lifetime of the game.

Update (3:03 p.m. CT): Epic has confirmed that Rocket League will still be supported on Steam, but will no longer be for sale once it launches on the Epic Games Store.

"The PC version of Rocket League will come to the Epic Games store in late 2019," Epic replied. "In the meantime, it will continue to be available for purchase on Steam; thereafter it will continue to be supported on Steam for all existing purchasers."

Update (5/03/19) 3:15 p.m. PT: 2K Games has sent a statement confirming that cosmetic items will be for sale in Borderlands 3.

"Players will have the option to purchase certain cosmetic items like character, vehicle, and weapon skins, but none of these purchases would be considered pay-to-win or impacting on the gameplay, like weapons or actual gear," 2K Games wrote.
